#1 is the correct form since it's the proper filename, while #2 would be the 
URL-encoded form (as showing in Konqueror's Location field): % is a special 
character in URLs and must therefore be encoded (just like # and ?). In other 
contexts, the spaces would be replaced by %20 as well, so it would read:

	bla%20%252F%20foo

Also note that '/' is an invalid character for a path component. It can only 
be used as a path separator.
